Colin's First Trip

Cousins! Addison and Colin- just a little size difference!

Aunt Lizzy!



Sweet little girl!


Meeting Addison

Colin's first trip was fabulous! We went to visit Rodney's family in Las Vegas- especially to see our new niece, Addison Faith Baxter! She was born Aug. 8 weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz and 19 1/2 in. to Rodney's sister Andrea and her husband Ryan. We couldn't wait to get up there and see her! She is so tiny and precious! It's amazing how quickly they change and we're sad that we won't get to see her again until January- she'll be completely different by then! We had such a great time just hanging out with all the family and the babies. We were excited too for the family to see Colin since some people hadn't met him yet, and because he's changed so much in the month since his baptism! Colin did so great on the trip too. Even though he hates his car seat, he didn't cry much until about the last hour before we got to Vegas. When we were up there he was so happy and did awesome on his naps and eating and everything- just like as if he was at home. We do have a big, growing boy on our hands though. I think he's going through a growth spurt. We just really started him wearing his 3-6 month clothes last week and most of them are already too short or tight! Oh well... We did go to the Carter's outlet store with Andrea and Ryan to get some clothes for the babies- smaller clothes for Addison and bigger ones for Colin! On the way home yesterday Colin must have been pooped because he slept most of the way home. He did really good! Today it's back to normal. Rodney leaves tomorrow for a work trip for San Diego just for one night, so that will be a little different. In a couple weeks we try out travel by plane for our trip to Missouri. I hope Colin's as good on that trip as he was on this one!

Lizzy, I had forgotten about your blog. Facebook is a little difficult for me and I am so bad at the computer. I love your blog.
Colin's 1st. visit was wonderful and we can see what great parents you and Rodney are. Colin is healthy and smart and the apple of your eye. Keep doing what your doing. We love you all. God bless you all. Love, Grandma Angie
